- The free content update is a brand new biome which is available to play… today!
- (check your platform for specifics)
- The following patch notes are for build #3c74912d - check the game main menu top right corner to see what version you are on!
- ✅ This patch and new biome is now live on Steam (Windows)
- ⌛ The new biome is live on all platforms, but the latest patch fixes and additions are coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo later on today. (Fixes coming soonâ„¢ï¸).
- ⳠSteam (Mac) is still pending previous patches, and will not receive the luminescent biome just yet. We’re sorry about the delay, and are working to resolve this ASAP!

- What is the new biome?
- The new biome is called Luminescent, inspired by Bioluminescence coastlines that light up the night!
- In the new Luminescent biome, you can find:
- - New trees (giant mushrooms!)
- - New flowers that glow (based on real flowers, Firefly Petunias!)
- - New blooming trees (giant mushrooms with glowing spots!)
- - A beautiful new biome that seems to be in a perpetual night 🌙
- - The new biome is available in 4 colour variations, red, blue, green and purple.
- Let us know what you think of the Luminescent biome, we hope that you all like it!
- Where are the monthly challenges?
- We wanted to share a quick and honest update about post-launch content - especially Challenge Mode.
- As you may have seen, there have been some changes behind the scenes in the wider organisation, which have made things a bit trickier when it comes to planning out content updates. Team structures have shifted a little, and that’s had a knock-on effect on how quickly we can get things out the door.
- That said, We are still here, still excited, and still fully committed to supporting ISLANDERS: New Shores long-term. We’re doing our best to navigate the changes in a way that keeps the game and the community moving forward.
- Our hope is to roll out the first version of challenge mode in the next free content update, but we want to take this moment to ask: what kind of challenge experience do you actually want? High-score hunts? Creative goals? We’re all ears.
- Drop your thoughts in the comments - we’re reading everything, and your input will help us shape what is next.
- Thank you so much for sticking with us!
- - ISLANDERS team, and Coatsink ðŸï¸
